寒山最近陷入了“逃避现实”的真空思维，但为了避免“自怜”，每天看小说，网上冲浪，看课件，运动，看Netflix小白剧等等等等。感觉自己就像一个空心人，对所有事都失去兴趣。突然，今天考完试打开了Netflix（虽然没有考试我饭点也会打开）一部叫#AmyTan 的人物纪录片，片头那些民国时期的黑白照片让我顶着无聊看了下去，还好不是Netflix流水线作业，tan作为一名作家还是很有故事性的，而且她89年就这么出名了！那时候张应该在洛杉矶（她们会知道对方吗），但张在美国应该没有她这种商业式成功，我好好奇tan写的“喜福会”，和她笔下的中国家庭关系。

Episode 236: THE JOY LUCK CLUB (1993)
Getting the hell out of Gotham City of the future, Andrew and Dave instead make their way to 1993 to take a look at director Wayne Wang's The Joy Luck Club, the adaptation of the 1989 novel of the same name from author Amy Tan. Will the duo have anything of value to say despite clearly not being part of the target audience in any way? Just what band was Amy Tan part of? And when the heck is this film going to get a 4K remaster, anyway? Tune in and find out!Next Episode: Look, it isn't the worst film of Eddie Murphy's career, but it is still a BAD film.All music by Andrew Kannegiesser. Editing by Dave Babbitt
alphabetsoupJess Teoh moves back to Malaysia with her parents after her dad's illness & Penang is crowded with family, none of whom knows that she's gay except her grandmother's ghost. Turns out Penang is crowded with secrets & ghosts & gods as well & Jess' Harvard degree is of no help wrenching her life back from history. Enjoyable read, somewhat reminiscent of #AmyTan

@progressiveartist I don't know that any of us #readers "need to" read anything in particular but there are a lot of amazing stories based in south Asia and north Asia. Many that I've read have focussed on the diasporas. #TheJoyLuckClub by #AmyTan was one of the books that started me on my Asian journey (literally since I eventually moved to Việt Nam, twice). #AmitavGhosh is another writer that I've read a great deal of. #TheKiteRunner, by #KhaledHosseini. There are so many.
